Minimalism is a design philosophy that places emphasis on simplicity and practicality. Everything unnecessary is stripped away, leaving behind only the essential elements that are used and enjoyed on a daily basis. With this approach, your bathroom can feel bigger, more tranquil, and more functional. From layout to decor, this article will give you the minimalist bathroom ideas you need to get started.
Your property inspiration
When you enter this five-bedroom house in Melrose Estate, you’ll be treated to an unparalleled level of charm and sophistication. The developers, Shancon Projects, pride themselves on ensuring excellence in every detail — it truly shows with this bespoke property.
A minimalist decor scheme has been embraced in some of the bathrooms which are sure to delight with their sleek appearance and clean lines. White paint cuts through the clutter, providing a soothing blank canvas to relax into one’s daily routine. Floating vanity cabinets keep the area organised and feeling spacious. Instead of hooks, a wall-mounted rack ensures bathroom towels, washcloths, and clothing is displayed neatly. The bathtub has a simple but elegant appearance in keeping with the minimalist shower spaces. Large mirrors, besides adding function, maximise the light and space within the room.
Make your bathroom a minimalist dream
Just because a minimalist bathroom is pared down doesn’t mean it can’t be stylish. Some changes in your design, decor, and habits can create a space that exudes both beauty and practicality.
Embrace neutral colours: Painting walls and using decor in neutral colours like white, beige, or light grey can evoke a feeling of tranquillity, ideal for a Zen bathroom atmosphere. These colours also give the illusion of space and brighten up your bathroom.
Update your design: If you have the budget and time, a redo can help you align your bathroom to the minimalist style. You can match wall tiles to floor tiles, remove your bathtub for more space, and choose fittings that are low profile.
Get rid of clutter: Consider all the toiletries and personal items in your space and remove anything that is expired, broken, or will likely not be used in the near future. Keeping only the essentials will make your bathroom feel airier and neater.
Make your decor impactful: It’s a myth that a minimalist bathroom needs to be all-white and sterile. Instead, make every decor piece count. Whether it’s an ornate mirror, stunning work of art, or greenery, exercise restraint by picking only the decor pieces that add value to your space.
Invest in storage: Minimalist bathrooms benefit from a range of smart storage solutions. Sleek cupboards without handles, shelves, baskets, glass jars, and furniture with hidden storage can bring order to your space.
Light up the space: A well-lit bathroom creates an inviting space. Sleek recessed lighting, some strategic pendant lights, and hidden LED strips in the ceilings, niches, or behind mirrors can bring the glow. Also, look at ways to maximise the natural lighting from windows; mirrors, for example, work wonders to reflect light from these areas.
Keep it spotless: Even the most well-design bathroom needs care to maintain the minimalist vibe. Throw away used products, put away items after use, wipe down surfaces, and hang up towels. Cleanliness is key for a serene aesthetic.
